Regions at a Glance
Olympic Peninsula & Washington Coast
Olympic National Park
Declared a national park in 1938, the 1406-sq-mile Olympic National Park holds some of
the country's most pristine forests. Hikers, cyclists, fishers and campers flock here to see
wildlife and enjoy trails, rivers and lakes.
Kites & Oysters
Washington's coastline stretches from Ocean Shores to the edge of the Columbia River,
offering hundreds of miles of smooth kite-flying areas, sandy dunes and crashing surf.
Don't miss local oyster farms, which can supply a feast on the half shell.
